Research interests
Dr. Neumann was clinically trained in anatomical pathology and neuropathology. Most of his research publications have been in mouse neurogenetics and molecular human genetics. He currently works on the history and revision of anatomical nomenclature (e.g., Annals of Anatomy 2014; 196S1:16).
